It was great my hubby and i actually agreed with each other which is a surprise as we have such different tastes so we did well to compromise with choices. Now waiting for our builders interview not sure how long that is suppose to take. i cant wait to get a road and finally walk on our block will make it more realistic that we own this and its all falling into place! tammy your welcome to follow our build https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64842 Block cut - 15th February 2014 Re: tristams first home 43Sep 06, 2013 10:57 pm thanks rocky! we have light posts!! and signs at the blocks! woo hooo http://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r76 ... 930d01.jpg tammy your welcome to follow our build https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64842 Block cut - 15th February 2014 Re: tristams first home 45Sep 06, 2013 11:37 pm thanks fairmontSAcustom! getting closer now! tammy your welcome to follow our build https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64842 Block cut - 15th February 2014 Re: tristams first home 47Sep 07, 2013 8:25 am thanks cooper5 thats great news there are so many stages still left to choose from too! tammy your welcome to follow our build https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64842 Block cut - 15th February 2014 Re: tristams first home 48Sep 07, 2013 1:51 pm Yay!!!!

We just bought a high pressure cleaner and washed the cars using the recycled water tap (all we have outside) and it left water marks from the recycled water. We will definitely be adding a normal tap outside when we build too. Re: tristams first home 58Jan 08, 2014 11:24 pm Sounds like a great tip re the tap, wish someone had said that before my builder's interview as I have dog and kids!
